The funniest thing you've ever seen on TV?

Crapaud

Browsing on You Tube this afternoon for some humour, I naturally searched for my comic hero Spike Milligan. I found this:

Spike Milligan - The Fresh Fruit Song
If I had to vote for the funniest thing that I've ever seen, this would be it; It never fails to have me gutting myself.

What would yours be?

Del Boy falling through the bar of course!

Yip! I wasn't really watching it, but it was playing in the background. It wasn't as good a last week, IMO. But, yes, it inspired this thread.

Del Boy was hilarious the first couple of million times, but has paled with it's endless repetition - as has Only Fools and Horses.

The Brent dance, has been a little overplayed but still makes me chuckle.

An excellent series! But which part in particular, if you had to choose, would be the best bit Rob?

My vote would go to Fur Q's "Uzi Lover", although Alan Partridge's interview with the jockey would be a close second.

Also some of the nonsense about Cake ("It's a made up drug") that Chris Morris got various celebs to spout on the "Drugs" episode of Brass Eye, along with asking what was presumably a real drug dealer for a load of nonsensical drugs.

Surprised that no one has mentioned anything from Fawlty Towers yet. Basil giving the mini a "damn good thrashing", the German walk, running about the hotel with a dead body to name but three ...

Absolute classic

What about the headline news at the start?
"Bouncing elephantitus woman destroys central Portsmouth" and "Bearded cleric in oily chin insertion" were two that stand out in my mind. I'm well aware this will mean nothing to most people :oops:

"Portillo's teeth extracted to boost pound" is probably my favourite.
